Mathematicians Are Making Earth-Based Telescopes Rival Space Observatories
A Bold Leap for Ground-Based Astronomy For decades, astronomers have known that Earth’s atmosphere is both a blessing and a bane. It protects life, but its ever-changing temperature, pressure, and humidity distort light as it travels to ground-based telescopes. This turbulent blanket causes stars to twinkle and galaxies to smear into blur, especially for faint…

Discovery of Dust-Shrouded Supermassive Black Holes at Cosmic Dawn
Introduction to Cosmic Dawn and Supermassive Black Holes The term “Cosmic Dawn” refers to a pivotal era in the early universe, specifically when stars and galaxies began to form. During this period, which occurred roughly less than a billion years after the Big Bang, the conditions were ripe for the creation of supermassive black holes.…
